Updated the user,group,host, hostgroup, netgroup, service, and all policy
entities to use the newer framework functions, in order to
replaced the old array style definitions which did not support i18n.
update a few of the newer framerwork functions to get the lables from the
meta data.
Fixed the unit tests which were expecting a details facet for users,
no longer automatically created
This patch introduces a new framework for implementing custom UI.
It consists of the following classes:
Main:
- IPA: global namespace and object repository
- ipa_entity: base class for entities
- ipa_facet: base class for facets
Add dialog:
- ipa_add_dialog: default add dialog
- ipa_add_field: the fields used in the dialog
Search facet:
- ipa_search_facet: default search facet
- ipa_search_column: the columns in the search result
Details facet:
- ipa_details_facet: default details facet
- ipa_details_section: the sections in the details facet
- ipa_details_field: the fields in the details facet
Association facet:
- ipa_association_facet: default association facet
- ipa_association_config: the association configurations
To use this framework, create a class extending the ipa_entity (e.g.
ipa_hbac). Use the create_* methods to create add dialog, search facet,
details facet, and association facet. The fields/columns for the dialog
and facets can be specified using the init() function. Custom UI can be
defined by overwriting the base methods (e.g. setup, save, load).
The entity must be added into the repository using IPA.add_entity().
The original ipa_entity_setup() has been generalized by moving facet-
specific codes into the corresponding facet. Some facet names are still
hard-coded. This will be fixed in follow-up patches.
Some global variables have been removed because their function has been
replaced by the object repository:
- ipa_entity_add_list
- ipa_entity_search_list
- ipa_entity_details_list
- window_hash_cache
Some functions and variables have been moved into IPA namespace:
- ipa_json_url -> IPA.json_url
- ipa_use_static_files -> IPA.use_static_files
- ipa_ajax_options -> IPA.ajax_options
- ipa_objs -> IPA.metadata
- ipa_messages -> IPA.messages
- ipa_dialog -> IPA.error_dialog
- ipa_init() -> IPA.init()
Initially the HBAC and Service entities have been rewritten to use the
new framework. The DNS is partially converted, the ipa_records_facet
is used to define custom records facet.
Other entities can still work using the old framework. The old framework
has been modified to be a wrapper for the new framework. Eventually all
entities will be converted to use the new framework.
Some unit tests have been modified to use the new framework.
metadata for phone numbers
test date for users
Undo works for multivalue
JQuery UI buttons have custom classes
inputs/fields are now managed inside of objects
removed the use of .call. as it was confusing the issue of
mismatched parameter lists.
Fixed the parameter lists, too.
This is an initial implementation of certificate management for
services. It addresses the mechanism required to view and update
certificates. The complete UI implementation will be addressed in
subsequent patches.
On the server side, the service.py has been modified to define
usercertificate in the service object's takes_params. This is
needed to generate the proper JSON metadata which is needed by
the UI. It also has been modified to accept null certificate for
deletion.
On the client side, the service details page has been modified to
display the base64-encoded certificate in a text area. When the
page is saved, the action handler will store the base64-encoded
certificate in the proper JSON structure. Also the service name
and service hostname are now displayed in separate fields.
The details configuration has been modified to support displaying
and updating certificates. The structure is changed to use maps
to define sections and fields. A section contains name, label,
and an array of fields. A field contains name, label, setup
function, load function, and save function. This is used to
implement custom interface and behavior for certificates.
All other entities, test cases, and test data have been updated
accordingly. Some functions and variables have been renamed to
improve clarity and consistency.
The ipa_entity_set_association_definition() has been added to configure
the association between 2 entitites. By default the associator is
BulkAssociator and the method is add_member. The entities have been
updated to use the right configurations.
The ipa_cmd() has been modified to detect IPA errors and invoke the
error handler.
A bug in refresh_on_success() has been fixed as well.
ipa_entity_quick_links() has been added to generate quick links
automatically from object's attribute_members, the same logic used
for generating facet list. The search definition for each entity
has been updated to use the new function. A unit test has been
added for this function.
Quick summary:
- use jQuery UI and jQuery BBQ libraries
- code restructuring
The patch has so many changes they can't be listed here. Many parts
of the code have been rewritten from scrach.

webUI code restructuring [wall of text, diagrams, ... you've been warned!]

The EntityBuilder has been modified to obtain the pkey value by
invoking getPKey(). This function can be overriden for different
entities.
The addOptionsFunction() has been renamed to getOptions() and it
can be overriden for different entities. Each entity that uses this
function has been modified accordingly.
The addEdit(), addAnother(), add_fail() has been moved into the
EntityBuilder class. The global builders is no longer needed because
a reference to the builder object can be obtained via enclosure.
The ServiceForms has been modified to take service name and
hostname and combine them to generate the service principal by
overriding the getPKey().
-Refactored the associations code into a set of objects that are configured by the entities
-Added support for associations that can be done in a single rpc
-hostgroup to host and group to user associations working
-Restructed sampledata so that the file is matched automatically by the RPC method name
-The new ipa_cmd/sampledata scheme insists on there being sample data for any commands or the ipa_command fails.
-Added sampledata files for all the calls we make
-renamed several of the sampledata files to match their rpc calls
-Started a pattern of refactoring where all the forms for the entity fall under a single object
We now catch the hashchange event and use that to drive most of the site.
To trigger page transitions, modify location.hash.
Params start with # not ?.
Removed user-group.inc.
converted tabs to spaces
trivial imlementation of add and details for netgroup and hostgroup
lots of bug fixes based on routing problems and the refactorings.
